Researchers of the Statistical physics and inference for biology of the LPENS, in collaboration with researchers from Moscow in the framework of the RESP-REP ANR project, have studied the evolution of immune repertoires in response to various viruses like the COVID-19. In particular, they have identified B-lymphocytes sequences specific to the immune response to this virus. These results open the way to new diagnose methods linked to infections.
